Uff. Der Einstieg war nicht einfach. Auch nicht für Leser des ersten fünfbändigen Zyklus.

Hat man das aber mal überstanden, passt das Pacing ganz gut und die 600 Seiten gehen schnell vorbei. Es ist halt eins ehr offenes Ende, weil es wieder eine ganze Serie werden soll. ( )

A teenage hermaphrodite princess/warrior and her friends come of age after she is kidnapped by desert raiders
In this world, demons are everywhere, but currently suppressed by prior war. Olive Paper is a 15 year old Princess, but born with anomalous genitalia because of some failure of magic at her birth. Her mother, her ward, her friends parents, are all veterans of the prior war. Olive is headstrong, ventures outside magic wards that keep demons away, and learns she is a target of the demons. She is then kidnapped by the desert warriors, who take her as a boy, and assign her to brutal warrior training. She rises as a warrior to become a hero in the desert city Krasia. The writing is adult, the details and pseudo-Arabic names and terms are convincing, there are believable social organizations, and a whirlwind, shifting plot. ( )

This is a quality read well written clever gripping imaginative, with superb characters throughout, the only problem was my ageing brain and memory keeping track of them all. Plenty of action throughout some quite gruesome. This is the first book I have read by this Author but it certainly won't be the last, especially as the somewhat open ending leaves room for more from the survivors and me wanting more,
Completely recommended. ( )
